Societal forces that shaped her life as a black woman impact Paula’s life. She finds herself attempting to fit into a dominant white society. She describes events from childhood to present that contributed to her life experiences. She addresses her parents’ endeavors to teach her how to assimilate and to value the white culture in order to succeed in life. She finds herself concealing her cultural identify when she is in an all-white environment.

A hurtful childhood encounter shaped her mindset in believing being black was a negative attribute. As a four-year-old, she experienced a very negative situation, which launched the beginning of a trajectory that compelled her to transform her life, by assiduously working diligently to assimilate into a white society. She captivates the love and strong foundation of growing up in a black family. Yet the complexity of doing a “delicate dance” between two cultures was not without anguish.

Paula shares both her outward journey and her inward journey. Although she becomes a successful professional woman, it was fraught with experiencing emotional, mental, and psychological consequences.

Great Tank Top
Color: White, Size: Large
I love this top. It fits snug and is comfortable. The length is perfect. I especially like the wide shoulder straps which hides my bra straps. I’ll order more of these in different colors.

Get it!!
Color: White, Size: Small
Great tank and definitely want to buy in more colors! Thick enough to not be see through but not to make you die of a heat stroke. Good cut and cute fit! Seems like it’ll last awhile! Perfect as a top or as an under layer if needed.

Very comfortable!
Color: Boho Print 01, Size: X-Large
This fabric is so incredibly soft! It's more of a tshirt fabric that dressy blouse but great quality that can be paired with a skirt for use in an office setting. I loved the pleats in front. It is wide along the bottom so good for those of us needing to disguise fluff. I did tuck mine into a denim skirt and it looked great! I LOVE the teal, orange and beautiful pattern!

Very pretty summer shirt
Color: Floral Print 02, Size: X-Large
I bought this to go with my pink dress pants. The shirt is versatile and could be dressed down to wear with jeans or shorts. Colors are exactly as pictured. Material is soft and comfortable and not see through. Washes nicely and did not shrink however I hung it to dry. I wear an XL and it fit perfectly and fit perfectly after washing. A very pretty summer shirt.
